Until now we have used Android Auto and Apple Carplay by wiring. Now I have bought this device Carlinkit 5.0 (2air) wireless. Before installing shall I delete the two Bluetooth parring, that I have used until now?
Thanks but the negative point is on my Toyota Yaris Hybrid, brand new, it cannotbe reckognized when pushing the voice command key on the wheel, have to go to the screen, this is not good at all. It says, no device reckognized. This is really bad, since this is essential !
Thank you for your detailed review! Is it easy to switch between Carplay and Android Auto? E.g., if I already have an iPhone connected and want to connect an Android, can I simply pair the Bluetooth on my Android, or do I have to disconnect the iPhone first (or unplug and replug the dongle)? Thank you!
You will have to discounnect first. But If you have both mobiles switched in the car with BT connected, it will ask show you both mobiles on the screen and then you can select
Thank you for the video, I had two questions, one of which was answered. Oddly the CarlinKit 4.0 cheated the Android Auto connection by connecting as CarPlay and doing some screen magic to display Android Auto. @9:55 it does appear that the 5.0 connects natively as Android Auto. I do have a second question. You mentioned at about @3:53 about full-screen views. In your other car, you could go full screen on a widescreen infotainment unit. The reason I ask is that the CarlinKit 4.0 did, but it cheated it, it would stretch the screen so squares were rectangles and circles were ovals. It wasn't using the native resolution. Curious how Android Auto looks full screen in your other car. Specifically are squares square, and circles circular?
Unfortunately I dont have the device with me anymore so I cant test it for you. But generally these devices reclaibrate to screen size automatically. I have experienced that with almost all devices
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz Thank you. I was able to confirm this information somewhere else. The 5.0 works the way it should. It appears the screen issue with the 4.0 may have been an artifact of connecting Android Auto through the CarPlay connection. I have been able to confirm the correct screen aspect of the 5.0 and that it natively connects to Android Auto. At least the information I've found suggests so. I've ordered a 5.0.
Thank you for testing which device connects if both devices are present. Is the a way to manually tell the carlinkit to switch from one device to the other. For example, if my partner and i both get into the car and my phone connects, can i manually tell the carlinkit to connect to her phone instead?
To be honest, I didnt try this option. But you can get in touch with the Carlinkit technical team and they will help you with your query: Whatsapp +8613725006100
It worked fine when I tested it. Drop a note to support@carlinkitcarplay.com , they will help you troubleshoot. Maybe some settings changes required for your car
Hey Schaz, I bought the 4.0 previously and a lot of disconnections so i seitched to Ottocast play2video. The Ottocast was working perfectly for around 3 weeks and then it stopped connecting. I'm considering the 5.0 but I'm afraid it will keep disconnecting, similar to the 4.0. Did you face any disconnections with the 5.0? And did you notice any dip in the picture quality when using Android Auto wirelessly in the 5.0?
I did not notice any lagging or dropped connection, or any issues with the picture quality. Generally both Carlinkit and Ottocast devices are really good, maybe they have some compatibility issues with your car
Thanks for the clarification. I bought and and tried it, but it turns out that to get android auto wirelessly, you need to have a factory wired android auto feature. Which is unlike Ottocast and the Carlinkit 4.0.
Nice review as always, thank you so much. I also have a some questions: 1. Can Android Auto work with cars only has Apple CarPlay? Like the Carlinkit 4.0? 2. Does Android Auto work with widescreen normally without resolution issues and stretching? Because I have this issue with Carlinkit 4.0 and I contacted Carlinkit support many times but they never give me solutions. Thank you,
It will work if your car has the carplay functionality. If your car doesnt have CarPlay fucntion that I suggest you get a portable carplay screen: th-cam.com/video/VUu1rT2km-g/w-d-xo.html
Hey Schaz, thanks for the review - appreciate the work that goes into it. just a little confirmation - my wife and I both use the car and I use Android while the wife uses Apple - just wanted to confirm that both our phones will connect to it and display the corresponding app on the car's Screen.
Bom dia, tenho uma multidimida que tem o carplay e Android auto por cabo, mas é uma multimídia comprada avulsa, não veio de fabrica, será que funciona o sem fio?
I got a question out of context , is there a way to have a full screen in this toyota screen ? I have lc300 and im looking for anyway to have full screen of android auto.
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz Is there any possibility of making Apple Car play on the existing screen. BTW the screen system has an Android version 5.05. What are your thoughts on Carlinkit CPC200-CCPA
@@kunalmayekar9440 If your car doesnt have the wired CP/AA functionality, then none of these adapters would work. In some cars, you can install a hardware carplay box under the dashboard that would be connected would the screen, but this option is available for a few car models only. For this you need professionals for installation
I had no issues pairing it for my iPhone with CarPlay but when my boyfriend pairs his Samsung Ultra it says it’s only paired for calls, not sure why because when it’s plugged in by itself Android Auto works. It’s a 2018 Nissan Rogue with both CarPlay and Android Auto. Has anyone had similar issues?
I'm sorry but I don't speak english. I have a car with only wired Apple CarPlay (no bluetooth) and my phone is Android (Samsung S21). Carlinkit 5.0 will it work? Thank you so much!
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz it's just srange the 2air is cheaper and those devices have X2Air writtten where your device sais Carlinkit (that lighs up green)
You cannot compare them. 5.0 is just a wireless CP and AA adapter while H1 is a full system AI box where you can install apps. It depends on your requirement.
I have been using this device for a week. It is better than Carlinkit 4.0 but I'm facing one issue. While driving, the device disconnects automatically and when I try to connect again it never happens. Is anyone else also facing the similar issue with Carlinkit 2 air. If there is any resolution then please share. Thanks

It uses the Bluetooth for the initial setup after that from what I understand it connects via Wi-fi

It needs to be connected to the USB port that is linked with the screen of the car

Thanks for the video! So I only need to use android auto (i use wired android auto natively). Would the 5.0 or A2A model give me the best performance?
Yes, its one of the best model, but the wired AA qulaity is superior then these wireless devices keep that in mind
@@MinistryReviewsSchazWhat is the main drawback? Voice commands? I heard someone say calls. Please be more specific if you can.
Thanks for the great video. I recently bought Carlinkit 4.0. Is it worth upgrading to 5.0?
No, if the 4.0 is working fine then you dont need to
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz Sure, thanks!
@@MinistryReviewsSchaz I was wondering the same, especially if the 5.0 is faster and handles heat better.
Hello, I bought this and am using it, but there is a call delay of about a second. How did you set it up?

How is the music audio quality on CarPlay compared between directly connected via wire vs wirelessly through carlinkit 5.0?
The quality on this 5.0 is quite good but you cannot compare it with wired connection
How does wireless music quality compare with Bluetooth quality?
the audio quality overall is quite good
Excelente review!
How is tha delay on maps, spotify?
Better than 4.0?
I did not notice much delay, definitely better

Unfortunately you can’t. This is a limitation of the LC screen. It comes in full screen in my other car
Will this device work for the car which doesn’t even have the functionality of wired Carplay or Android auto?

I think you have previous version of this device (4.0). $.0 only supports Apple CarPlay
Whats the difference between this one and CARLINKIIT 4.0?
5.0 is an upgraded device to 4.0, with faster connection speed and stable connection
